Maui Community Reviews

Island Sands is an oceanfront condominium project with 83 units located at 150 Hauole Street in Ma'alaea. At 6 stories, it is the tallest in Maalaea and features a unique curved format giving great ocean views to all units except the 5 studios located in the office section. Some views are head-on and some are oblique, ask for details. It was built in 1975 and is a fee-simple project.

Island Sands construction is concrete; it has a pool and BBQ area. Offshore is the famous Freight Trains surf which draws surfers and an audience the few times a year when it kicks up.

Island Sands borders the Waihee drainage ditch which is normally dry but it has overflowed during heavy rains and flooded ground floor units. The County of Maui has prepared a drainage improvement plan including a draft environmental study dated July 2012. As of January 2014 there are no signs of pending construction but there are reports that it is scheduled for Spring 2014 which is just months away.
